Opinions: Polar Explorer II + Navy Nato

I was curious how the navy BluShark nato would look with the Polar Explorer. I'm leaning more towards the bracelet.

I was planning to use the nato for floating in a lazy river and didn't want to scratch up the bracelet.

The nato's quality is excellent but a little too thick for the factory spring bars.

Aesthitc opinions? Thanks!

I quite like it, and as long as you do that's what matters. Maybe a red stripe or stitching in there would make the GMT hand pop!

I love the combo of white dial and blue strap. I have got my white dial Panerai 561 with blue NATO leather strap, great summer combo!

I like it! The 40mm polar exp 2 is definitely one of the most versatile rolexes

I had mine (Exp II) on a jubilee bracelet which was quite comfortable. After a bit on all my watches they always seem to migrate back to the bracelet they came on.

If you like it, wear it. My polar is more comfortable on the SEL.

I really do not like NATOs in any incarnation whatsoever. However, yours does look like it works from a colour co-ordination aspect. I much prefer it on the bracelet though.
